"30 Days in Sydney" Syncs

I finished reading Peter Carey's book30 Days in Sydney on the weekend.It's a book that I had sitting on the shelf for a couple of months, but the only one I had in my bookshelves of his that I hadn't read, and since he was billed to be on at theByron Bay Writer's Festival this year I thought I had better read it.It was written in 2000, so there is a lot of water under the bridge since then.

Peter wrote about the monorail and how controversial it was, which got me thinking that I must have a ride on that when I'm next down there, as I've never been on it.Too late though, because the last ride was Sunday night.Sydney's monorail to make final journey before demolitionIt's going to be taken down after 25 years of service.Doh!That was the first I'd heard about it.Not such a big deal, news wise in Brisbane, I guess.The funny thing about Peter Carey's book and the book that I'm reading now(pictured above) straight after reading Pete's, is that both books are written with Earth, Fire, Air and Water chapters.PlusGifts of Unknown Things covers some similar topics as did the book I read before 30 Days in Sydney,

The only reason I ever bought,The Wave Watcher's Companionwas because the lighthouse on the cover reminded me of the Byron Bay lighthouse.And now, Peter Carey will be in Byron for the Writer's Festival.

Pete writes in his book how his house in Sydney was burned down in a bush-fire and how he still can't bear to look at the old property where it once stood.He even puts in a story about volunteer firefighters battling to save homes near his and the dangers involved by putting their lives on the line.No sooner had I finished the book I see 19 firefighters died the other side of the world battling forest fires.

Just when I think the book couldn't get any more synchronistic Pete finishes the book with a fisherman receiving a bottle ofInner Circlerum for a favour he did for a yachtsman.The funny thing here is that Inner Circle rum is made at the Beenleigh Rum Distillery, which is where my wedding reception was held at in 1988.When I got married Inner Circle was made somewhere else, but now it is made by the distillery where my wedding reception was held.

The book that I'm reading now centers around a young real life girl that Lyall Watson met in Indonesia named Tia(which just happens to be the name of my mother-in-law's dog) and now at this moment, my youngest son and his girlfriend are in Indonesia for the next two weeks.

Life is definitely stranger than fiction, as my old friend Andrew used to say to me...before he went to jail for a murder that he didn't commit.

@MikeI don't find them,they find me,and I'm always amazed by the 'coincidences' as they line up in my life.Like a ship sailing on the breeze,it is the wind that is responsible for where it takes me.I just have to keep an eye out for the markers to steer the course to keep me on track...if that makes any sense ?

Thanks Trish,apart from the bad haircuts (although I just sport a shorter bad haircut now.-) we haven't changed that much in features,maybe a few grey hairs and extra lines is all.The little blonde haired boy in the cake photo helped to build my new carport recently.Time flies...even when you are not having fun.-)

Blogs like this one?

"So blogs are like CB radio. Blogs are the hobbyist sideshow, and most of them, while amusing, aren't particularly relevent." Seth Godin form his book "Meatball Sundae".

"Life is only some kind of sowing time and the harvest is not here."Vincent van Gogh

"Best to stay away from religion and go for the dreaming - the most powerful religion of them all".Paul Coxfrom"Paul Cox: Tales from the Cancer Ward."

Quote

"...each person who holds the truth of his synchronistic journey, while listening for the truth in another's journey, helps to build a new, more truthful worldview. And because of this honoring of evolving truth, that person exudes a special influence on the world."From"The Twelfth Insight"by James Redfield.

"At all events he seems a layman to the process, just as I am, and therefore probably thinks I know more than I do. The night simply calls for me to sit back, shut up and observe the goings-on."

Reputation?

Probably not quite what Alan Moore meant when he said this. ;-)

About Me

A blog journal to record my weird synchronicites and thoughts on life, and to save little puzzle pieces here in the hope that they may connect further on down the track.
More for my own amusement, than for anybody else.
Some things will only make sense to me personally, and some things may effect your life, too.But feel free to read, anyway.

The AO/OA ? I noticed that both Will Ferrell and Will Smith were guests this year of the Australian Open tennis tournament. ...

The Web

"Imagine a multidimensional spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image." - Alan Watts

Authors of the Impossible

"What makes an author of the impossible is the insight that because paranormal processes can replicate literary processes and literary processes can replicate paranormal processes, writing can become a paranormal practise." Jeff Kripal

Here's what to do if you still dont get it :

"Start a blog. Fine with me if you want to do it under an asumed name. But do it. About something you care about. Then, check back in with yourself a month later and see if you're different. And how you are different. " Seth Godin, from his book "Meatball Sundae".
